I have the same problem. It's nothing medical. But when you go from nail polish to nail polish without letting your nails breathe in between, they start to become Vitamin D deficient, plus not having been given the chance to expel any of the chemicals from the polish. Let them go bare for about a week and they should be back to normal:)

• This will be because you wear a lot of nail varnish. Dark coloured ones and bright colours are usually this worst for this.
  I suggest you stop wearing so much nail varnish, and give time for the staining to fade, or grow out, which it will eventually do.
  If it is absolutely necessary for you to where nail varnish, then put a clear base coat on underneath the colour.
  Hope this helps :)
• Its normal unless its like really really discoloured. Not to damage your nails make sure you apply two base coats, then the colour, and then a topcoat. If you live here in the UK, you can get nail whitening tablets from Superdrug for a couple of quid. Just soak your nails in them and voilà!

• basically you have painted you nails for too long a period of time (if that makes sense)
  
  your nails are suffering from a lack in vitamin D (sunlight)
  
  the same thing would happen to your skin if you never let it see sunlight
  
  it will go away in time, it takes different time for different people
• your nail varnish can stain your nails. When you remove your nail polish wait a few days before putting any more of and use a base coat
